Ingredients
1 ¼cupchocolate chipsI used dark, but you can use whatever you like
½cupBiscoff cookie spread
3tablespoonbutter
8cupsChex Rice Cereal
1 ½ - 1 ¾cupicing sugar
¾ - 1cupHoliday M&M candies
Pretzel sticksoptional
Instructions
Melt chocolate chips, Biscoff cookie spread and butter in a microwave safe bowl, using 30 second increments, stirring well in between. I like to do it in the large bowl that I am using to mix it all together in, but you do have to be careful not to crush the bottom when you try to incorporate the chocolate.
Add the Chex to the chocolate mixture and stir carefully to not crush the cereal pieces but ensure you get all of it as covered as you can. Make sure you check the very bottom as it tends to be tricky to grab it from that spot without crushing cereal if you are not careful.
Pour the chocolate covered cereal in a large resealable bag and add in icing sugar. I like to start with 1 cup and add more as I go, lightly separating any that tend to stick. Toss it all around gently to coat, then spread and evenly layer on a sheet pan with parchment paper and allow it to set.
Transfer it to your serving bowl and add holiday M&Ms, and any other candies or treats you want to use. We usually add mini pretzels or pretzel sticks for a salty-sweet profile. Other great options are chocolate covered pretzels, peppermint M&Ms, peppermint candy and mini peanut butter cups.
Notes
Work Gently: Stir carefully to avoid crushing the cereal, but be sure to get right to the bottom.
Let It Cool Before Mixing: This helps prevent the candy from melting into the chocolate.
Spread It Out: A single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet helps the coating set evenly.
Make It Your Own: One of our favorite parts of this recipe is changing the mix-ins every year with whatever holiday candies we have on hand.
Start Slow: Add the powdered sugar in starting with about 1 cup and add more as needed.
Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container, that is kept out of direct sunlight, for up to 1 week.
Freezer: Place in freezer-safe bags for up to 2 months.
Serving: A gently toss before serving can help if any powdered sugar has settled.
